Hogwarts: Opening Shot Dumbledore

No, no, no, there is something else inside. Hagrid said with a mysterious face, Guess what?

Kassandra became interested and said: It is boiled in a pot, and it is related to magical animals. Is it the egg of some animal?

That's right. Hagrid nodded appreciatively and motioned for her to continue.

Ying Fei, on the other hand, had already known that there were dragon eggs inside, so he didn't join in the fun, and smiled as he watched Cassandra use her brain.

Is it a dragon egg that needs to be hatched at such a high temperature? Cassandra paused for a moment and said.

Unexpectedly, Cassandra just thought about it and came up with the answer.

That's right! Hagrid smiled, You are so smart, this is the dragon egg.

According to the explanation in Yang Long's guide, it will hatch out of its shell today, and I will soon have a dragon as a pet!

Hearing Hagrid's excited reply, Cassandra frowned slightly: It's illegal to raise dragons, Hagrid.

Of course, I'm not advising you not to raise it, but I want to ask, how do you plan to take care of it and keep it from being discovered?

When Cassandra said the first sentence, she saw Hagrid's somewhat depressed expression and quickly changed her words to a more tactful way.

This innocent half-giant has something written all over his face.

Ying Fei also interjected: You may be able to hide the newborn dragon, but as it grows up, it will definitely be discovered.

It's like my Ciri. It's still small now and meets the school's pet size standards, but I may not be able to bring it in next year.

After Hagrid heard this, he turned to look at Ciri. She was now as big as a golden retriever. Although he didn't know how big Ciri would be in the end, if it continued to grow at this rate, it would indeed not be in compliance with the school's regulations next year. .

Hagrid was silent. He understood what Ying Fei and Cassandra said. He just couldn't resist the temptation of raising a dragon.

Finally, he said: Ignore this for now, there will definitely be a solution in the future.

Kassandra frowned and wanted to persuade her again, but she saw Ying Fei's eyes telling her not to worry about it, so she still didn't say anything more.

So, the three of them sat around the dragon egg and chatted about the interesting things that happened in school these days. Hagrid also teased Ying Fei about beating someone for Cassandra yesterday, and the atmosphere was very lively.

We sat like this until night, when Hogwarts had entered curfew time, there was a sudden knock on the door of Hagrid's cabin.

Dong dong dong——

I'll go take a look. Hagrid sat up, walked to the door, and opened it.

Oh, Harry! And Hermione, Ron and... Malfoy? Hagrid looked at Malfoy who was following Harry with some confusion. In his impression, the relationship between Harry and Malfoy had never been good. How good it is.

I forgot to tell you, Hagrid. Harry saw Hagrid's confused look and quickly explained: Malfoy and I reconciled a long time ago. We are friends.

Malfoy also said in time: Hello, nice to meet you, Hagrid.

Since hanging around with Ying Fei, Malfoy has also consciously learned how Ying Fei behaves in front of others. Now he is much more polite than in the original book.

·····Ask for flowers··········

Okay, you guys come in. Hagrid made room for the four little wizards to walk in.

As soon as they entered, Harry and the others saw Ying Fei and Cassandra.

Ying Fei!? Boss?!

Harry and Malfoy said in surprise at the same time.

Hello. Ying Fei briefly greeted them, and Cassandra also smiled and waved. After all, they were all Ying Fei's friends, so their attitudes were naturally more friendly.

If it were anyone else, Cassandra would have given them face by just nodding.

Boss, sister-in-law, why are you here? Malfoy came up and asked curiously.

I invited them here. Hagrid closed the door and walked in. At this time, there were seven people in Hagrid's hut. Although it didn't feel crowded, Hagrid was somewhat cautious.

... ......... ...

After all, his body is too big. If he touches anyone, it will be bad.

Why did you come with Harry? Ying Fei asked Malfoy in confusion. In his impression, in the original book, Harry and the others came to Hagrid at night. Later, Malfoy discovered them and reported them. .

Now that Malfoy and Harry's relationship has become better, they won't do anything like reporting him, but Ying Fei didn't expect him to follow Harry.

I was just out for a walk, and I happened to meet Harry and the others, so I followed them, Malfoy said.

Ying Fei nodded and looked at Harry: What about you? Are you coming to Hagrid so late? What's the matter?

Harry and Iron Triangle looked at each other with some hesitation. Hermione had told Harry and Ron many things, so Iron Triangle now knew that Ying Fei knew many things, but he didn't want Harry and the others to explore these things. , so they were hesitant to tell the truth.

Ying Fei was unhurried. He knew the purpose of Iron Triangle's coming here, so even if they didn't tell them, it wouldn't matter. It wouldn't affect the development of the plot, let alone the plan to snipe Voldemort tomorrow night.

Finally, Hermione came out and said, We found clues about Nick Flamel and came to Hagrid to tell him that the Philosopher's Stone would be stolen.

Can the Philosopher's Stone be stolen? Hagrid was stunned. Wait, how do you know about the Philosopher's Stone?

Chapter 125: Alchemy Dragon Egg (Part 1)

Don't worry about how we knew it. Now Voldemort plans to steal the Sorcerer's Stone. We should stop him! Harry said.

Hey! Don't mention that name... Hagrid couldn't help but tremble when he heard Voldemort's name, and then said: Don't worry, the mysterious man is dead and will not appear again.

Harry and others sighed deeply. Although they were sure that Voldemort was still alive, Hagrid didn't know about it. Now they couldn't produce evidence and didn't know how to explain it to Hagrid.

Thinking of this, Harry turned his attention to Ying Fei for help, hoping that Ying Fei could convince Hagrid that Voldemort was still alive.

However, facing Harry's gaze, Ying Fei shook his head and said nothing.

Okay, Harry sighed, then said, Since you are treating Hagrid, we won't interrupt.

Oh, it's okay, you can stay here. Hagrid said with a smile, Three-nine-three. I got a dragon egg. Today happened to be the day of hatching. Originally, I just invited Ying Fei and Cassandra. Come take a look, I didn’t expect you to come.”

Dragon egg?! The four people who came in later were all shocked.

Hagrid, are you going to raise a dragon in Hogwarts? Hermione asked, Aren't wizards not allowed to raise dragons alone?

Hagrid scratched his head and said, I haven't decided whether to raise it yet, I just want to hatch it first.

After Ying Fei's suggestion before, Hagrid now had doubts about whether he could raise this dragon well.

Not to mention what will happen to the dragon if it is discovered, Hagrid will definitely go to Azkaban...

While several people were discussing the dragon eggs, Ying Fei stared at the pot and fell into deep thought.

Magic patterns can be engraved into objects, giving them magical powers. But can they be engraved on living things?

If you can get a small Norwegian Ridgeback that won't grow up by carving a rapidly shrinking stimulating magic pattern...

Hagrid. Ying Fei said in a deep voice after thinking briefly.

What's wrong? Hearing Ying Fei call him, Hagrid turned around and asked.

Now I have a way that allows you to own this dragon permanently. The price is that the dragon may die. Are you willing?

Looking at Hagrid, Yingfei said seriously.

Hagrid: ???

Harry Iron Triangle and Malfoy: ???

What method is this? Hermione asked curiously.

Ying Fei simply replied: By carving magic patterns on the dragon egg, this dragon has the ability to shrink. It's just that this is my first time doing this kind of thing, so I'm not sure.

Carving magic patterns on dragon eggs?! Hermione said in surprise, Is this... possible?

Ying Fei shook his head: I don't know, that's why I said there is a chance that this dragon will die.

Hearing this, Hagrid, who had not understood it at first, immediately came back to his senses and said: No, no, no, I don't agree with you doing this!

Even if it is just a dragon egg now, it will be born soon. This is a living life!

How can you use it for such an uncertain experiment!

After hearing this, Ying Fei nodded: Okay, I respect your opinion.

After all, this is considered a living experiment, and Hagrid's rejection was expected by Ying Fei. There are so many dragon eggs, there is no need to stare at this one in Hagrid's hand, right?

However, after hearing what Ying Fei said, Hagrid hesitated.

He knew that living experiments would be harmful to dragon eggs. After all, no one had ever conducted such an alchemical experiment. This was the first time Ying Fei proposed it.

The purpose of alchemy is equal exchange. If you want a dragon to gain the power to change its body shape without relying on external forces, of course it will have to pay something.

After pondering for a while, he asked cautiously: Yingfei, how sure are you?

Of course he knew that this might kill an unborn dragon, but when he thought about having to part with the little dragon he had raised in the future, Hagrid still couldn't accept it.

Ying Fei turned to look at him, and immediately saw Hagrid's current state, and said with a smile: About 70%, but I can tell you that the alchemy experiments I have done have never failed.

Seventy percent? Hagrid said disappointedly, This is too low.

Forget it...

Hagrid lowered his head and began to think about the scene after the dragon egg hatched.

You really don't want to think about it? Ying Fei asked, raising his eyebrows.

At this time, Malfoy next to him whispered: The probability of 70% is already very high. My father has met many alchemists, and the probability of them making ordinary alchemy items is only about 60%...

Boss, this is the first time this has been done in the world. It's incredible to be 70% sure.

Hagrid was obviously starting to waver again.

Harry looked at Hagrid's expression, stepped forward and said, No matter what you choose, I will support you, Hagrid.

He had known for a long time that Hagrid wanted a dragon. This was one of Hagrid's few dreams. Now that there was finally a glimmer of hope that he could shrink the dragon and keep it by his side, Harry felt that he should take care of me... ...

But Harry also knew Hagrid's love for life and magical animals, so asking Hagrid to risk losing the dragon egg and agree to win Fei was not in line with Hagrid's character.

Therefore, Harry just said this to support him.

After hearing this, Hagrid's brows furrowed even more tightly and he was still hesitant.

If we keep waiting, the dragon eggs may be about to hatch... Ron whispered from the side.

Hearing these words, Hagrid suddenly raised his head, walked to the pot, opened the lid, and took out the golden dragon egg inside.

I agree, I hope you can treat it well... After placing the dragon egg on the table, Hagrid turned his back to everyone and pushed open the wooden door alone.

I'm going for a walk outside, you don't have to follow me.

Hagrid thought he had done something to harm a small animal, so he was unwilling to face the dragon egg and went out alone.

The remaining people were curiously surrounding the dragon egg, waiting for Ying Fei's operation.
